the ridge

This is a gorgeous image that has been superbly captured. I am glad you were able to find something in the foregroundthat perfectly compliments other colors in the image. Technically i can't think of a thing to improve the image. Well even though this is a beautiful image and would be proud to hang it on my wall, I fantasize about a beam of sunlight hitting the top of the moutain with a golden glow. I can always dream but i know the reality of landscape photography and the only times I get lucky is when I revisit the same location for months and then I get something special. It is very important for you to know that this is fabulous image and I would rate it 7/7. Thanks for stopping by one of my images.

thank you very much for this detailed, objective comment. it is exactly how you described it, i also tried it in the next morning but still no sunshine.

Well done! Rather than take a static shot of the mountain and reflection, which is majestic; you placed interest in the f/g and that makes this an amazing capture! Congrats

 

Best regards, Pamela

Very nice treatment wiht a perfect colours and composition. Best regards from Galicia (Spain)

Perfect shot indeed - colours, compositon and the cloud above the mountain top as the icing on the cake! However, if I may also have a wish, I imagine a beam of sun lighting up the group of trees on the distant lake shore, with the mountain peak remaining in the shadow, would make it absolutely perfect for me.

comments and ratings welcome!

Fascinating composition and color palette. Last trace of color in the leaves gives a melancholy mood.

This is a beautiful image, with a number of positive attributes. The frame is just full of interesting elements.

Wonderful composition with very good lighting. Best regards.

Hi Zsolt. Interesting lighting on this. I'm not sure how much is from processing and how much is natural, but I like it just the same. The red clump of grass makes the shot for me. Regards.

This is an Amazing Capture and there is no question, with the vibrant red lit grass in the foreground, you have greatly enhanced an already Stunning Image!!! All components that make a great composition are there and you have achieved this and then some!!! VERY WELL DONE!!!

thank you very much for all of your appreciations.

Walter: your thoughts are interesting: but it is really hard to answer how much is this natural. after all, as i remember, it was something like this but i am not sure, maybe just a beautiful memory, that is why i remember it like this. on the other hand, if i would simply point the camera and take a picture, the whole sky were overburned but still no shadow details - that definitely wouldn't look natural. it was really tricky light, big differences of lighting. this is an HDR of 3 exposures, but even so, it was not easy (the highlights were still clipping a bit even in the -2 underexposed image).

 

Great image zsolt, i really like the vibrant orangey red colours against that brooding dark mountain. It kind of reminds me of a backdrop from the film 300.

 

Regards, Dave.

Thank you, Zsolt, for sharing that information. I would not have thought that this was an HDR; you have a different look than most others would have achieved with this technique. Regards.

I really like the combination of subtle tones in parts of the image, and bright warm orange tones in the rest - together I think they make the other stand out that much more, and create a feeling to the image! The comp is very pleasing. My one nit might be the reflection (mid-mountain), there are a couple bright patches which aren't present in the mountain...almost look like rain drops on the lens. That aside, a wonderful image!

thanks! indeed that spot is from the gradual filter, a scratch or something like that, which usually didnt show up but against the light (sun) is quite visible.

awesome shot. congrats.

Great composition and color contrast.!

How I missed this image, I don't know. Very nice, beautiful reflection and the foreground tuff of grass highlighting the whole image. Very nice composition. Bravo Zsolt.

 

Cheers; Bela

Well done in every way.

Magnificent picture. Perfect composition and extraordinary light...A true masterpiece.

Great piece of work

Another amazing image. The tones are fabulous and the composition is flawless.

 

Thank you very much for your comment on my work.

Epic catch...that light and color is superb.  What a bizarre thing to find for the fg and it happened to match the color so well.  Great..truly

Great composition and colors make this a very interesting photo. If I may have just one fantasy, I fantasize this as being MINE.

 

Sincerely,

Jim
